658 Report on the Cattle JBxhibited ai Vinds^t. 
two Seconds and one Third won by Mr. J. Cunningham's entries. 
The Galloways have since had special Classes at Carlisle, York, 
Preston, and Newcastle. At Carlisle, 1880, there was a strong 
Show ; forty-nine entries, with merit in proportion to numerical 
strength, indicating the progress of the breed since the Society 
had visited that city just a quarter of a century before, when the 
prizes were for " Angus and other Polled," and the " Other" failed 
to assert themselves. York, 1883, had a tolerably good show of 
Galloways in number, and not a bad average of merit ; a few of 
the animals superlatively good, the rest moderate : Preston, 1885, 
twenty-six entries, some of the pick of the breed exhibited ; and 
Newcastle, two years ago, sixty-five entries, a magnificent Show. 
This year's Show at Windsor did not equal, by a considerable 
distance, the Newcastle Show, yet came within two or three 
entries of the number entered for Carlisle, in the very heart of the 
breeding district, and between the homes of English and Scotch 
exhibitors, only nine years ago, whilst the merit of the cattle 
at Windsor was great, especially in the female Classes. The 
numbers were: Class 121, Bulls of 1883-4-5-6, seven entries; 
Bulls of 1887, six; Bulls of 1888, four; Cows or heifers calved 
before or in 1886, eight (one withdrawn); two-year-old Heifers, 
seven ; and yearling Heifers, fifteen entries. The First Class of 
bulls contained the male champion, " Vale Royal of Closeburn," 
a showy bull of much length and substance, evenly fleshed and 
remarkably good in the fore-end, bred and shown by Mr. F. E. 
Villiers ; Sir Robert Jardine's " Liberator of Balig," the New- 
castle champion bull, bred by Messrs. Shinnan, was placed Second ; 
and in the Third j^lace was Mr. Cunningham's " Lucky Times," 
a bull with plenty of chest for the vital organs to work in. 
" Vich-Ian-Vohr," bred by Mr. Villiers, and own brother to his 
" Vale Royal," the champion bull, and " The Squire of Drum- 
lanrig," the latter, of course, bred, and both exhibited, by the 
Duke of Buccleuch, had both also cards of honour. Bulls of 
1887 were unequally matched in age, the Second winner having 
given his rivals a good half-year's start, but the competing 
animals were of creditable merit. Sir Robert Jardine's yearling 
bull, three other bulls entered being absent, had the First Prize 
unopposed. Frequenters of the English Shows will remember 
his dam as the Preston Royal First Prize cow, and those who 
annually attend the Highland Society's meetings will associate 
her with centenary champion honours. The Cow and Two-year- 
old Heifer Classes were both good, the former containing the 
Galloway of the year, Mr. James Cunningham's beautiful " Maggie 
of Tarbreoch," with Sir Robert Jardine's wonderful mass of beef 
in the Second place, and the pretty little " Villa of Closeburn "
